Instructional Ideas

  • While originally designed for teaching English language learners, these same materials could also be used to teach Spanish language learners

Classroom Considerations

  • The poster mentioned in the resource can be found in the materials, but is not free; you may want to look at the thumbnail for reference and then create your own version

Pros

  • Comes with a blank Frayer model worksheet to use with any word, a list of the cognates and related images, and an additional worksheet for comparing the cognates

Cons

  • Does not include the cognate strips and cards mentioned and used throughout the activities; consider creating your own using the provided word list or having pupils write the words down instead of using cards
